One of my real close friends keeps having migranes....

[Silas15]

For a very long time a really close friend of my has been having almost daily migraines.  They have been getting bad to the point of her throwing up and in constant pain.  She has also been experiencing memory loss.  She said that from January until about one month ago, she can not remember anything.  It takes her hours to remember something, and when she does, it results in a migraine or she starts bleeding from the nose.  She also tells me that before January she can remember something, and anything from the most recent month she can also remember.  She has an appointment to see the Neurologist in December, but that is to far for me, I am real concerned and I need some information so that I can give her some comfort.
Thank you for listening, and help would be nice.

Okay, they normally start at the beginning of her head and move to the back.  She has been having Migraines since she was 2, and they started to get a bit worse.  She is not on any treatment at the moment and she has a Neurologist apt. in December.  I have been trying to get her back in.  She does vomit sometimes when she is sick, and she tells me the following:
She has headaches every day no matter what, when she is under stress they get worse and when she gets upset they also start to get worse.  She has also said from January until about a month ago she can't remember any major events.  Some events before January are fuzzy.  When she tries to remember things it takes hours and it ends up in nose bleeding.

I will try to keep posted and let known any further information.  Thanks for all your help everyone, and let me know if anything I tell you sparks anything.

P.S.
I am doing fine, thanks for asking, how are you ^_^.

Hi,

How are you?
There is a possibility that your friend is suffering from transformed migraines. Transformed migraines are characterized by chronic persistent headaches associated with other neurological symptoms like memory loss.
What is the location of these headaches? Is she on any treatment?
Persistent severe headaches on the back of the head associated with memory loss and nausea vomiting should not be taken lightly as there is a possibility of stroke in these cases.
Please schedule an earlier appointment for your friend. Take care!

Alright I will do, thanks for all your support =). I would also really hope they at least FIND something wrong, that is the first step to helping her.  I love her and I would never want to see anything happen to her =(.
Do you have an aim account maybe we can talk?

Yes I have been experiencing the same thing as well. When I went to the neurologist that did a full scan on me and I came back fine. Keep me up to date if you can. I would like to know the reason why memory loss is happening as well.

Please try to get your friend to see her neurologist sooner, maybe her primary care doctor can put a call in to speed up the process, or better yet have her primary doctor admit her to the hospital for extensive testing. This sounds extreme to me. Keep us posted.
